Benefits of technology

The present invention is an improvement on a typical instrument used in the sport of object manipulation. It has curves that make it easier to use in the sport and allows for a wider variety of tricks to be played safely. The invention increases hand-eye coordination while also being soft plastic for safe playability.

Problems solved by technology

Primarily, you limit the ability to increase hand-eye coordination when the object is whirled, twirled, spun, tossed, grasped, caught or flipped in the air, to oneself or among one or more persons.
Another drawback is how straight objects limit the number of tricks a person play.
Due to their design, straight objects are not capable of being whirled, twirled, spun, tossed, grasped, caught or flipped to oneself or to another person in unlimited directions.
Further, a straight object lacks the curves and additional grips and points of reference that are needed for additional tricks and the ability to us virtually any portion of the body to perform these additional tricks.
In addition, straight objects such as pencils can have sharp, blunt or hard ends and or edges that are not safe to whirl, twirl, spin, toss, grasp, catch, bump and flip in the air or back and forth among persons.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]In looking at FIG. 4, the preferred embodiment of the invention has three portions designated by the numbers 1 , 2 and 3. The ideal length of portion 1 is 14 cm. The ideal length of portions 2 and 3 is 14.5 cm. 2 is a minor image of 3. 1 is longitudinal and is in between 2 and 3. 1 has two curves across its length, numbered 4 and 5. The radius of curvature of 4 and 5 is 7 cm. 4 and 5 are concave, and therefore fall into the inside of the invention. The amplitude of 4 and 5 is 1.7 cm. In the middle of 1 lies matching flat dips, numbered 6 and 7, on the front and back side of 1 respectively. 6 and 7 may vary in length from 1 cm to 6 cm and may vary in depth from 0.01 cm to 3 cm. 2 is vertical and is juxtaposed to the left side of 1. 3 is vertical and is juxtaposed to the right side of 1. 2 has two curves, numbered 8 and 9. 8 and 9 are convex and thus fall toward the outside of the invention. 8 is tighter than 9. 3 has two curves, numbered 10 and 11. 10 and 11 are convex and thus...

Abstract

A Curved Instrument for the Sport of Object Manipulation is described as being a solid mold made of soft plastic which is used by but not limited to whirling, twirling, spinning, tossing, grasping, catching, bumping and flipping in the air to oneself, another person and among an unlimited number of persons with virtually any portion of the body. The present invention is composed of at least two portions attached to one another by a third portion where each portion contains at least one curve. A third portion also contains at least on curve with an addition of an indention located in the center of the portion for grip and reference point. The present invention has curves and indentions which makes the instrument safer and easier to use in the sport of object manipulation as the curved instrument is safer and easier to whirl, twirl, spin, toss, grasp, catch, bump and flip with virtually any portion of the body.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates generally to the sport of object manipulation and more particularly, describes a safe and soft flexible plastic object which allows for an unlimited number of tricks a person can play while acting as a device which can safely be played with by whirling, twirling, spinning, tossing, grasping, catching, bumping and flipping to perform tricks and strengthen hand-eye coordination.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention is related to the sport (also considered to be an art form) of object manipulation that involves manipulating an instrument with one's hand. It is considered by some to be a form of contact juggling. This sport is often considered a form of self-entertainment, however multinational competitions are sometimes held. The typical type of instrument used in this sport is a straight object, i.e. a drumstick, pencil, or pen. Given the type of instrument used in this sport, one common form of this sport is drumstick spinnin...
